More and more people are saying that solid, pearl, and hybrid is all marketing, and surface means more than anything, so I decided to take my Rage down to 2000 grit because I need more control in my game. I have to say that it made my rage roll like a solid instead of a skid flip pearl. Usually I start to struggle around game 2 when I hit transition with the primal rage because it gets jumpy on me. I didn't see it last night. It just kept reacting smoothly and crushed the pocket all night. I shot 631, and had a shot all night. The shot was wetter, so I had to close down my angles. I would have shot much higher if the operator didn't keep throwing the ball too far outside.

I got into the habit of using less surface so my ball would give me more carry on off hits and to try to help control how much the lanes transitioned. I did have more luck carry, but it was so much harder to adjust that I actually fell behind most nights. I'm hoping I am on to something with this. So you use some surface on a dry lane ball? I have been killing with my misfit pearl at 500 with royal compound. It has probably 30+ games on that surface, but it is still giving an amazing reaction, so I don't want to touch it up
